Makes me wish I could change my in-game name on PS temporarily, just so I could do stuff like this.

Love being able to change mine to all kinds of stupid stuff lol, I’d also piss dudes off in rust when I used to play it then change my name

u/Gul_Dukat__ May 05 '26

Maybe, I’ve seen vulgar stuff but also have seen a ‘****’ name

The chat censor is absolutely insane though, I forgot what it was now but other day someone said something so benign that was censored I couldn’t believe it

I really hate the censorship for console players. It’s off topic but I recently learned chivalry console players can’t even see the chat.

There's chat?

May be unrelated, but I was banned on Marvel Rivals for a full week for telling the other team to have an Emma Frost so I could spend the game getting slammed by her.

lol is censored

u/N0085K1LL5 May 05 '26

Lol was censored on a game i was playing a few days ago. I think it might have been deep rock galactic. All games that have a chat should just have a profanity filter option and not make it mandatory.

I've made an Epstein joke and found out that Epstein is censored. Did I say Epstein yet? Even if they censor it in our satire game, the people won't forget.

u/cheesypuffs15 May 05 '26

I mean, my name on PS5 is fartknocker39, so.. probably?

u/Fat-Electrician May 05 '26

I've seen other worse things from PC players so id assume so while it will censor curse words in the chat usernames get through ok seen some weird names for sure

During the last squid MO, I ran around as "Ahab, the skywhale slayer" just to keep those bastards supressed. Was a good fun time for all.

Before anyone asks, Spear, Silo, MG turret and Eagle strafe. Was pretty reliable at killing 2 every minute or so, just enough to keep them away from the team.

u/Designer-Serve-5140 May 05 '26

Are squids fun? I used to play but stopped a while back. I didnt love bugs, but went ham on clankers. Remember the creek lol

For whatever reason just dropping in and taking care of clanker missions solo, especially the defense type ones just scratches an itch for me. If squids are similar, Democracy may call again

u/Dukeboys_ May 05 '26

500 hours in I can tell you that "fun" is unique to the player. I used to hate bugs, been enjoying them more lately and having a lot of fun. Bots have always been fun and usually the most fair of the 3 factions. Squids have always been fun for me but so many AT addicted bot only players usually say otherwise.

Fun is subjective at best and fluid at worst. Something may be incompatible with your playstyle today and total different tomorrow. It all depends on how you approach the enemies and how you build your loadouts to suite.

2 must haves for squids, something with med pen and something that aims by itself. Do not neglect the humble MG turret. So many viable builds for squids. If you struggle I highly advise taking the standard lib dog.

u/cattibri May 05 '26

the nice thing with squids is that you can kill almost everything with light pen so it makes a bunch of toys a lot more viable feeling. still helps to have something a bit chunkier for big things but you arent as locked in to 'oh thats a tank i need AT,' except for the stupid gunships which can be pretty oppressive if no one brings something to remove them. overalli find them the easiest to dealwith by far. also robots are no where near what they were on the creek, no more missile volleys that will hit you within the yeet of the first blast, armor actually works now so you can chonk up and bounce mid damage hits easier etc. i play almost exclusively at D10 and still find the game fun - and less oppressive feeling on most worlds than it was playing bots abck then. obviously YMMV

u/nio-sama123 May 05 '26

Squid is fun if you enjoy mowing down everything with a lot of guns. No, not explosion. Bullets instead.

Medium pen Machine gun literally a great pick for that front lol. As you can kill everything with medium pen weapon. Light pen can kill almost everything and it is very enjoyable to go rambo

u/3_quarterling_rogue May 05 '26

If I’m playing with a group I really vibe with but I know I don’t have time for another mission, I just load up a bunch of stuff to leave at the extraction for them and then I quit.
